what a poser. he needs his ass busted.

ridiculous. He could have just been bringing it to sell it to a friend.

And since when have you seen a pistol with a double trigger, unless it was a cocker slide frame. In which case you must ask, was he a pump junkie too?

After all these school shootings, can you blame the school? People that don't know anything about paintball markers or firearms would easily jump to conclusions.
I didn't see any comments with the attitude of "paintball is bad," it looks like this case was handled sensibly. In this day and age, don't bring weapons or anything that that could mistaken for them to school.

it kind of made it sound like he was showin a pistol grip out of his backpack. maybe tryin to act like a gangsta.

i wonder if he held it sideways?

sometimes i borrow some of my friends gear, like a tank or a barrel or something, and he always wants me to bring it to school to give it back to him, and i always tell him no because some idiot may see it as something else and tell someone. he always thinks im stupid but maybe after he reads this he might see where im coming from....

and the kid even getting in trouble, to me, is just stupid. yeah sure if you think its a gun tell someone but there is no reason for him to be punished for a part of a gun that doesnt even shoot real bullets, and relys on every other part of the gun to work.

thats funny you said that. in 9th grade i brought a Maverick to school in a shoe box to sell a kid. w/ a co2 tank hopper and everything. put it in my locker and told the kid the combo once he gave me the money. was a sweet deal.

i never stopped to think how much trouble i couldve gotten in.

hmm

lets ponder this a little

how the **** do you shoot somebody with a grip
even if you have never even seen the words paintball you should know that something like that isnt going to do ANYTHING to ANYBODY

there were NO paintballs, NO C02 or compressed air tanks, not even a body for the gun

i think it is the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my life

[wrath ltd]

i mean omg the grips was it even the rest of the trigger frame or just the grips?

omg omg he has rubber in his bookbag! omg omg someone is gonna get shot by floppy rubber!
